A Mystical Picnic at the Site of the Former Miyadani Quarry 

For those seeking an escape from the ordinary. Embark on the coolest adventure of the summer. The Former Miyadani Quarry—a tunnel of cool air and a stone-carved otherworld

[A Mountain Gate That Blasts Out Cold Air in the Dead of Summer]

―― Beyond that tunnel lies a “stone otherworld”

Walking along a gently sloping forest road, a small tunnel suddenly appears.
Standing at its entrance, a chill—about 10°C colder than the outside temperature—brushes against your cheeks.

Step inside, and you enter a surreal realm of stone, water, and light, cut off from reality. It is a place akin to a “sacred domain” once known only to the craftsmen who quarried Miyadani stone. Within this space surrounded by rock, cool, crisp air and an emerald-green water surface lie quietly.
